What is the formula to convert from Rømer to Fahrenheit?

The formula to convert temperature value from the unit of Rømer to the unit of Fahrenheit is:

Temperature(Fahrenheit) = (Temperature(Rømer) - 7.5) × 24 / 7 + 32

Rømer unit in Temperature

The Rømer scale, proposed by Danish astronomer Ole Rømer in 1701, was an early attempt to standardize temperature measurement. On this scale, the freezing point of water is set at 7.5 degrees, and the boiling point is 60 degrees. The Rømer scale was one of the first to be based on the properties of water, and it laid the foundation for later developments in temperature measurement, including the Celsius scale. Although it has been largely superseded, the Rømer scale remains of historical significance, particularly in the history of science and the development of meteorology and thermometry in Denmark.

Fahrenheit unit in Temperature

The Fahrenheit scale was introduced by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century. It defines the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling point at 212 degrees, both under standard atmospheric pressure. While its use is primarily concentrated in the United States and a few Caribbean nations, it is the standard for everyday weather forecasts, household heating, and cooking temperatures. The scale's narrower degree range allows for more precise temperature readings in these applications, making it particularly useful in fields like meteorology and industrial processes.
